That's not really fair... Our whole offense this year relies on driving to the hoop and getting the ball to the post.  In other words attacking the hoop and not settling for jumpers.  The problem is the refs are trained to give the benefit of the doubt to the defender so we never draw fouls.

Also most teams who are higher ranked than us are much better at being fundamentally sound on D because they don't play the high risk style of D we play.  Because we play an aggressive zone our guys are always reaching in to passing lanes and are generally out of position with regards to a man in their space.  This is going to cause a lot more fouls on our guys.  We are also out of position for rebounds which tends to lead to a lot of scrum situations where we foul the other team. The other factor is shot blocking is a big part our defensive strategy which again leads to fouls.  Lastly our guys are usually pretty bad at not falling for head and shot fakes.
